What is a Clean Look/Setup?

To many ads? Support ODJT and see no ads!
Sarge the example is easy - everyone thinks thiers is clean (even I do)

but when it comes down to it no one setup can say its the cleanest

only way that can happen is there is no setup and its blank with nothing there - now thats clean

can you see why I say that not one setup I have seen so far is a clean setup (because there isnt)

sorry that life for you!

What a bunch of malarkey.
 
Thank you! Funny but the Mixer has been in service about ten years now. I like it because of all the inputs it has and a sub output, which can be used for extra bass but rarely used. This is missing from that pic (3 Way Crossover and two amps), it goes under the DJ station. Reverb has also been added to the Main rack and the Laptop does no longer sits so high.

THose look like high-end home audio amps (like BGW). Are they?

You are correct but they are not High end home audio. They are pro sound. I started out with those and more in 1978 and they are still in use, never been to the shop.

I like this one the best because I can see from the angle that this is the head of the dance floor. First and last pics would have been great if the mains were out farther.
 
Sorry guys - still do not see a CLEAN setup!

Not mine but how about this one...

Seeing that setup made me go out and get a facade, uplights AND Scrim Kings.

Hey Wes,

You've got a nice setup but as far as the controller goes, what's with your affinity to the left side of the table? The Fung Shui seems off kilter when you could have it dead center and your CDs off to the left and right.
 
I do the same - mixer case is usually on the left. Personal preference. FYI - it doesn't look like there's enough room on that table to center th mixer with CD's on the left and right.
 
Dennis do you have a picture which might show us an example to clarify your view or opinion?

ok john have you got a clean setup you can show ?

I dont because I even consider my setups not clean

remember we are basing this on our feelings on what a clean setup should be NOT what a clients feels are on what THEY think a clean setup really should be!!

So now Jon can you 100% say any setup out there is a clean setup!

Gaffle has it
Not mine.

so as I said there is NO real clean setups at all

you do a competition with people for a good/clean setup and some will have so many opinions you wont know what to do with

See where I am going - no Dj Setup is better than anyone else its all in the eye of the beholder

have a think about that

have a nice day!
 
LoL... if you think about your statement, it really doesn't make sense.

Makes perfect sense. [I do the same - (my) mixer case is usually on the left. (This is a) personal preference. FYI - it doesn't look like there's enough room on that table to center the rack with CD's on the left and right (because the CD's would then be hanging off the left and right sides of the table) (you suggested he put the rack in the middle with CD's on the left and right of the rack - there simply isn't enough room)].
 
It's personal preference. I've been known to center it on occasion.

Note: If both CD cases are currently on the table and so is my rack, and there is room for them all now, why would moving the rack to the center and moving one CD case where the rack used to be cause the table to shrink and no longer fit? That has me confused too.

He got you!! Right now everything fits on the table, right. Unless the CDs are in an all in one case, all he has to do is exchange places with the console and some of the CDs.
Anyway, it does not matter to me how he sets it up.

He didn't get me. I've been using picture #3 (with the white table cloth) for reference. At first that looked like one CD book opened up. I can't make the picture any bigger, so - looking at it with my eye on the screen, it looks like 2 books, closed - which would mean if he opened them and placed them one above the other, they would still take up the same amount of space, width wise - double the height. Moving the rack to the center of picture #3 (and having a book opened per side, would have the edges of the books hanging over the edges of the table.

Now what picture are you referencing?

Doesn't matter to me how he sets it up either - I typically setup the same way. Main mixer to the far left, laptop next - then music (if it will fit). If not, onto a back table (if applicable).

It's personal preference. I've been known to center it on occasion.

Note: If both CD cases are currently on the table and so is my rack, and there is room for them all now, why would moving the rack to the center and moving one CD case where the rack used to be cause the table to shrink and no longer fit? That has me confused too.

Both CD cases are on the table, side by side, closed - correct? When opened, they open like a book, correct? If so, then there is not enough room with one case opened on each side in pic #3. If you look at it now, the cases side by side (closed) take up almost half the table (it's almost to the center point of the sub).

My CD cases are usually open if they're out. Initially, I thought the picture contained a CD book, opened.
 
non members setups are not to be linked as it is not the way this site has in the past nor in the future wants to associate itself to. Thanks for those who have noted the way we have always done things here. We simply will not allow grading one who has no way to respond or answer having no connection to the site. Simply one sided viewpoint without repply is not what this site has ever been about. Take one to task but be certain there are two sides to every story. Take that to the bank. Clean setups count most and determined by a satisfied customer and not a DJ across the country. Balance? Cleanliness? Whatever it only matters if one continues to bring in revenue and success. We are only providers and we all attempt hopefully to satisfiy our customers to the fullest and beyond anyone elses opinion is pure BS.
